Do you actually deliver French-primary, or is your French version a translation afterthought?

French-primary. Quebec law and the OQLF require French to be predominant in commercial communications — your site is structured French-first with English parity, not the other way around. Translation isn't AI-with-French-prompts; we work with Quebec native speakers who understand the distinction between France French and Quebec French where it matters.

How do you handle Law 25 — the Quebec privacy regime?

Cookie banner and privacy policy are configured to Law 25 (which sits roughly between PIPEDA and EU GDPR in stringency). Your business gets a privacy-officer placeholder if you don't have one, the data-subject-rights flow that Law 25 requires, and a privacy-by-default analytics setup. We don't pretend to be lawyers; what we deliver is template-quality copy that your Quebec privacy counsel signs off in 30 minutes.

Can you register .quebec domains as well as .ca?

Both — we register and renew either for you at no markup, or connect an existing domain from any registrar. A .quebec domain reads particularly well for Quebec-anchored businesses and is increasingly recognized in francophone search results.

How do you handle the festival cycle — Jazz Fest, Just for Laughs, Osheaga, Grand Prix?

Hosting is on a global edge network — your site handles a 10× traffic spike during festival weekends the same way it handles a Tuesday in November. We also build seasonal-content modules: festival-weekend pricing, reservation availability copy, special-menu pages — that you update from the same admin where you change regular menu prices.

01Montreal context

Why a Montreal site has to read different from a Toronto one.

Montreal's small-business mix is unlike anywhere else in Canada — a Plateau law firm working under Quebec civil law, a Mile End AI startup pitching to Sand Hill VCs, a Saint-Henri micro-roastery, an Old Montreal restaurant whose customers are 60% from Boston in August. The shared problem is that the audience is genuinely bilingual — most of the city defaults to French in commercial contexts — and most websites built for Montreal businesses still ship as English-first with a French translation tab, which is both a Quebec-law problem and a conversion problem.

Montreal agency rates have climbed sharply over the last five years — a custom build with proper bilingual delivery in 2026 typically runs CAD 12,000–60,000 with a maintenance retainer on top. For a three-partner law firm in the Plateau, a Mile End tech startup pre-Series A, or a single-restaurant Old Montreal operator, that price competes with a year's Barreau du Québec membership fee or a season's worth of festival sponsorship budget; the website has to genuinely earn its line item.

We replace the agency-and-translation-vendor dilemma with a fixed monthly Canadian dollar price. Design, hosting on a global edge network, your .ca or .quebec domain, ongoing content updates, French-primary bilingual delivery (not afterthought translation), and Law 25 + OQLF-aware data handling — all in one bill. The site loads as fast for a Mile End local on Vidéotron 5G as it does for a partner reviewing it from a phone in Quebec City.

02Montreal use-cases

Three kinds of Montreal business we build sites for.

Bilingual professional services

Quebec law firms, accounting practices, and consultancies

A clean partner-led site with proper French-primary bilingual bios, sector or practice-area pages, an inquiry intake form that routes by matter type, and Law 25-aware data handling — plus the bilingual rigor that the Barreau du Québec and your francophone clients expect. Quebec civil-code-specific terms drafting, not common-law copy-and-paste.

Tech & AI startups

Mile End and Saint-Henri startups, AI labs, and product companies

Product-first pages that hold up against San Francisco-tier marketing, English-primary with French parity for the Montreal-local hiring pipeline, blog and changelog infrastructure for technical content, contact forms with type-of-inquiry routing, and the discreet GDPR-and-Law-25-aware privacy stance that B2B SaaS clients in the EU and Canada both look for.

Festival-cycle hospitality

Old Montreal hotels, Plateau restaurants, and festival-anchored venues

Bilingual menus and event pages that update in seconds, a reservation form (or OpenTable / Sevenrooms embed where you already use one), photography that survives a phone screen, festival-aware seasonality copy (Jazz Fest, Just for Laughs, Osheaga, the Grand Prix weekend), and the discreet privacy stance that an international visitor reading from a Paris café expects.
